It might be April Fool’s Day, but Mecca Bingo is very serious in its bid to have the game become an official Olympic sport.

The bingo company confirmed to CalvinAyre.com that it has formally applied for bingo to be recognized as an official sport by the International Olympic Committee. Mecca Bingo’s goal is to have the game included in the 2020 summer Olympic Games that are scheduled to take place in Tokyo, Japan.

In an email to CalvinAyre.com, a spokesperson for Mecca Bingo said: “If ski ballet once made it and bridge/bell ringing recently made similar attempts, we’re optimistic and why can’t bingo be next? You never now, it might even be a good prospect for a future British gold medal!”

Mecca Bingo cited the game’s player requirement of “alertness, dexterity, observational skills and good sportsmanship” makes it’s the perfect candidate to be recognized as an Olympic sport.
